Dream Big Canvas - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with my second project for this month: a mixed media canvas.


I covered the canvas with paper paste. I didn't bother to have an even layer. When the paste was completely dry, I painted it with liquid acrylic paints that I made run with water. The top was painted with Ink Black. For the bottom part, I used different shades of blue liquid acrylic paints until I obtain the same blue color as the photo. When the paints were still wet, I added White Titanium to add more depth and Prussian Blue.


I primed all the chipboards with black gesso. I covered the Mandala #1 and the Word Disc #1 with Tiger Eyes Jewel paste to remind the color of the hair of the girl. I just added some gold with Vintage Gold wax.


For the Spider Chrysanthemum, I just added Mystic Turquoise wax to add a touch of blue to the upper part of the canvas. I used the Firebird wax for the Fern Fronds. 


I painted the Leaves #5 with Unicorn Hair Sparks and rub them with Vintage Gold wax. 


I decide to turn the title to black to add more contrast with the Ink Well paint and rubbed it gently with White Gold wax.


To finish the composition, I added some glitter, sequin, and microbeads

Today a secret door in a mystical forest.

A Secret Door - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board inspiration

  Hello everyone!

 

Have you seen the latest chipboards - Fairy Doors and Mushroom clusters - ???
Simply magical!!

Love this fantasy theme, it's absolutely inspiring for me.

I created a canvas in mixed media style, worked with dried natural bark, which represents an old tree with a secret door hidden inside.
I wonder who goes in and out there? 😃

  

 

 

 
Chosen colours fit wonderfully with our monthly mood board
